Authors Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski know that Mister Rogers is more than just his trademark cardigan sweaters. To them, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is not just a children's program; it is a proven blueprint for raising happier, healthier kids. As young people face constant reminders that the world is not always kind, parents and teachers can look to Fred Rogers: an ingenious scientist and legendary caregiver who was decades ahead of his time.

When You Wonder, You're Learning reveals this never-before-seen side of America's favorite neighbor, exploring how Rogers nurtured the tools for learning now deemed essential for school, work, and life. These tools can boost academic performance, social-emotional well-being, and even physical health. They cost almost nothing to develop and are up to ten times more predictive of children's success than test scores. No wonder it has been called a must-read for anyone who cares about children. With insights from thinkers, scientists, and teachers - many of whom worked with Rogers himself - When You Wonder, You're Learning helps kids and the people who care for them do what Rogers taught best: become the best of whoever they are.
